About Rebuilding Together Greater Florida (RTGFL)

Rebuilding Together Greater Florida (formerly Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to repairing homes, revitalizing communities, and rebuilding lives.

Serving 21 counties across Florida, RTGFL provides safe and healthy housing for low-income homeowners, seniors, veterans, and families in need. Through home rehabilitation, disaster recovery programs, and community revitalization initiatives, we help ensure homeowners can remain safely in the homes they love.

Position Overview

The Construction Coordinator helps manage residential repair and rehabilitation projects from initial home assessment through final inspection and project completion.

This role requires a balance of field visits and project coordination, including evaluating homes, verifying scopes of work, monitoring construction progress, coordinating contractors, and ensuring projects meet program and funding requirements.

The Construction Coordinator works closely with the Construction Manager and District Program team to ensure projects remain organized, compliant, and on schedule.

This position also serves as a key field representative for RTGFL, maintaining strong communication with contractors, inspectors, homeowners, and community partners.

What a Typical Week Looks Like

A typical week may include:

• Conducting home assessments to evaluate repair needs, identify safety concerns, and assist with developing scopes of work
• Visiting several homes across the district to monitor active repair projects and verify construction progress
• Meeting with contractors to review scopes of work and address field questions
• Coordinating permits and inspections with local jurisdictions
• Uploading site photos and documenting project progress in internal project tracking systems
• Communicating project updates with program staff and homeowners
• Supporting volunteer build days or community repair projects

No two weeks look exactly the same, but the focus remains consistent: helping ensure homeowners receive safe, high-quality repairs that allow them to remain safely in their homes.
